[libvirt-users] sco 5.0.5 not booting on hard disk
by Jean Michault 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hello, I am trying to run SCO unix 5.0.5 with KVM. I have created the Virtual Machine with virt-manager. The installation runs correctly, but when the virtual machine reboots from hard disk, i obtain this message : "FATAL: No bootable device." If i run manually the virtual machine without the suboption "boot=on" in the "-drive" option, the virtual machine boots correctly. Why is "boot=on" preventing my VM to boot ? Is there a way to modify the .xml file for this VM to inform libvirt to not add "boot=on" ? Thanks Jean Michault.

[libvirt-users] qemu driver boot up
by ccmail111 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hi, Looking to libvirt source code questions: a) I see virt-mgr or such client invokes libvirt API which inturn connects to libvirtd on host. Is this right ? Further libvirtd invokes qemu driver callbacks which were registered when it comes up using: qemuRegister() API. Is this right ? b) If (a) is true then does is mandate that (i) libvirtd daemon need to be running on host only ? (ii) also libvirtd daemon need to be running before qemu (to register) ? c) what is the call sequence and boot up flow between libvirtd daemon and qemu ? d) can libvirtd process run in a guest ? Thanks ! CM.

[libvirt-users] qemu and libvirtd question.
by ccmail111 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hi, I looked to developer guide and have couple of novice questions. I hope this is the right forum and some can shed some light and pointers. 1) does virtd need to running on host ? can it run in a guest (privileged guest) ? 2) how does virtd (backend) interact with qemu drivers ? Thanks, CM

[libvirt-users] Can I set up VMs in a "Flat" network?
by sean darcy 15 Sep '10

Our small network is 10.10.11.0/24, gateway 10.10.11.252. dhcp is set up. I'm using virt-manager to install VM's with kvm-qemu on an F14 host - 10.10.11.100. qemu-kvm-0.13.0-0.6.rc1.fc14.x86_64 libvirt-0.8.3-2.fc14.x86_64 I'd like all the VM's to be on the same network as the physical machines with an address range of 10.10.11.110-10.10.11.130.

[libvirt-users] KVM guest creation - no manual interference
by Lucas Arbiza 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Hi I've looking for a way to create KVM virtual machines completely automated without the need to interact with guest operating system during installation. With ubuntu-vm-builder is possible create the guest, list packages to be installed and scripts to be run. Is there a way to do something like it with libvirt?

[libvirt-users] Disabling iptables on bridge breaks port forwarding for NAT
by Brian Pitts 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Hi, Following the directions for setting up bridged networking in the red hat virtualization guide and libvirt wiki, I set the following kernel parameters to 0 on a RHEL 5.5 server. net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables Unfortunately, doing this broke the port forwarding I'd set up for VMs on my NAT networks, e.g. iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.122.2 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.122.2:80 Before I run sysctl to change those values, nmap shows port 8080 as open. Afterwards, nmap shows it as filtered. Using sysctl to set those values to 1 did not undo the change, the port still showed as filtered. I had to reboot to open the port again. Creating an iptables rule to accept traffic on bridged devices, i.e. iptables -I FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged -j ACCEPT did not not cause this problem. I am wondering if breaking the FORWARD and PREROUTING rules I set up to do port forwarding is to be expected when those net.bridge parameters are set to 1. If so, I think this should be mentioned in the libvirt wiki and red hat documentation. It can't be that uncommon for a single server to host guests with a mix of with bridged and NAT networking. -- Brian Pitts Systems Administrator | EuPathDB Bioinformatics Resource Center 706-542-1447 | bdp(a)uga.edu | http://eupathdb.org

[libvirt-users] Restarting iptables and libvirtd
by Brian Pitts 09 Sep '10

09 Sep '10

Hi, If I issue the commands # service libvirtd stop # service iptables stop # service iptables start # service libvirtd start the iptables rules that enable NAT on my virtual networks are not created when libvirtd is started, even though the networks are set to autostart and 'virsh net-list' shows them as active. The rules are only created if I run net-destroy and net-start. Is this the expected behavior? I would have thought that restarting libvirtd would ensure the necessary iptables rules are in place for networks marked as autostart. I would also have though that net-list would not show networks as active if the iptables rules needed for them to work were not in place. -- Brian Pitts Systems Administrator | EuPathDB Bioinformatics Resource Center 706-542-1447 | bdp(a)uga.edu | http://eupathdb.org

[libvirt-users] Status of libvirtd on BSD/OSX?
by Mitchell Hashimoto 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hello, I've done some research prior to this and the answer is clear that libvirtd doesn't compile on BSD or OSX, but I'd like to know more details about this, if I can have a bit of your time: * Are there any current efforts to get libvirtd running on BSD? * What are the blockers to getting it running? * My main goal is really to, at first only control VirtualBox, so KVM/Xen/etc is not an issue. I realize that KVM and some other hypervisors obviously can't be supported on BSD, but if I could just start by compiling libvirtd for VirtualBox on BSD that would be a big win in and of itself. Thanks, Mitchell

[libvirt-users] kqemu
by Zvi Dubitzky 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi we have a Debian 64 bit system with qemu 0.9.1-10 ( uname -a = 2.6.26-2-amd64) installed . kvm is included and loaded to memory . Still when we create a VM we sometimes get the following error message: libvir: QEMU error : internal error unable to start guest: You do not have enough space in '/dev/shm' for the 499 MB of QEMU virtual RAM. To have more space available provided you have enough RAM and swap, do as root: mount -o remount,size=515m /dev/shm Or disable the accelerator module with -no-kqemu after we do the mount we can create the VM . Does that mean that kvm is not active because it seems that kqemu is an old way to do the duties of kvm e.g supply memory to VMs via /dev/shm thanks Zvi Dubitzky Email:dubi@il.ibm.com IBM Haifa Research Laboratory Phone: +972-4-8296182 Haifa, 31905, ISRAEL

Is there a spot in the xml i'm not seeing to identify the network DNS server. Currently it's defaulting to a.b.c.1 I'm running my own though on a different address and can't find where to configure it in the xml schema or could I override it in DNSMASQ? Thanks Steve

[libvirt-users] C, C++ or Python programming tutorial/manual/guide for libvirt

Hi, I want to develop an application to manage KVM virtual machines. I've been looking for something that helps me to start programming using libvirt in C/C++. The only one documentation I found is in this link: http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html. Neither Google has helped me! That does not look like a good way to start. So, do you know some useful C, C++ or Python tutorial for libvirt? I prefer C or C++.

[libvirt-users] Decent How-To now on the wiki for setting up Transport Layer Security
by Justin Clift 30 Aug '10

30 Aug '10

Hi all, For anyone that's interested in setting up TLS with libvirt, but hasn't gotten around to it yet, there's a decent guide on the wiki now: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/TLSSetup It's user focused (ie SysAdmin's), and has lots of pics explaining concepts, plus shows what needs to be done, and shows how to do it. Please note, it doesn't cover SASL, it's just plain host based TLS. Very much open to feedback on it, if people have suggestions for improvement. Hope that helps. :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift

[libvirt-users] Installing a VM to a virtio disk
by Brian Roberg 26 Aug '10

26 Aug '10

When provisioning new VMs, is it possible to enable virtio for the guest's storage at the time of the installation? When I try to do so, the Ubuntu installer says, "No root file system is defined" when it gets to the partitioning step. Here's the disk option I'm giving to virt-install: --disk pool=libvirt-pool,size=4,bus=virtio (I'm also using "--os-variant=ubuntulucid".) I've been able to install a new VM using the IDE storage driver first and then switch to virtio after the installation is complete, but it would simplify the process if it could start with virtio right off the bat. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS ("Lucid") host and guest, which provides libvirt 0.7.5 and kernel 2.6.32. I'm about ready to concede defeat and set up a way to automate making the change after the installation, but I thought I'd ask here first. Thanks! -- Brian

[libvirt-users] Libvirt and iptables rule order
by Brian Pitts 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hi, On RHEL 5.5, I set up iptables rules for forwarding ports to some of my virtual machines. For example. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3380 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.123.2:3389 iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.123.2 -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3389 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT These worked fine, and I saved them with 'service iptables save'. However, upon rebooting the server the forwarding no longer works. When I inspect the configuration with 'iptables -L', I see that the rules libvirt creates were inserted before the rules from /etc/sysconfig/iptables. Since the rules from libvirt include one that rejects any new connections, the data I want forwarded is dropped. For example, target prot opt in out source destination ACCEPT all -- any virbr1 anywhere 192.168.123.0/24 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- virbr1 any 192.168.123.0/24 anywhere ACCEPT all -- virbr1 virbr1 anywhere anywhere REJECT all -- any virbr1 anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable REJECT all -- virbr1 any anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable ACCEPT tcp -- eth0 any anywhere 192.168.123.2 tcp dpt:ms-wbt-server state NEW How should I configure iptables so that my rules and libvirt's play nicely? Basically I need my ACCEPTs to end up before libvirt's REJECTs. I looked through the list archives and libvirt documentation but did not see an answer to this question. -- Brian Pitts Systems Administrator | EuPathDB Bioinformatics Resource Center 706-542-1447 | bdp(a)uga.edu | http://eupathdb.org

I am able to do so from the host PC put not from other PC's on the same network. here is my what i did so far (http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking#NAT_forwarding_.28aka_.22virtual_ne…) cat '/etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml' <network> <name>default</name> <uuid>1bad08f7-0bc3-bfde-f87d-f323ab1c95eb</uuid> <forward mode='nat'/> <bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' delay='0' /> <ip address='10.0.2.1' netmask='255.255.255.240'> <dhcp> <range start='10.0.2.2' end='10.0.2.14' /> </dhcp> </ip> </network> cat '/etc/sysctl.conf' # Disable packet forwarding #net.ipv4.ip_forward=0 net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 # disable netfilter on the bridge: net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0 ifconfig -a br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1C:C0:38:AF:BA inet addr:10.0.1.5 Bcast:10.0.1.15 Mask:255.255.255.240 inet6 addr: fe80::21c:c0ff:fe38:afba/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:580 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:29435 (28.7 Kb) TX bytes:468 (468.0 b) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C0:DF:13:AF:87 inet addr:10.0.1.4 Bcast:10.0.1.15 Mask:255.255.255.240 inet6 addr: fe80::2c0:dfff:fe13:af87/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:476362 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:684752 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:57147388 (54.4 Mb) TX bytes:707797829 (675.0 Mb) Interrupt:22 Base address:0x800 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1C:C0:38:AF:BA inet6 addr: fe80::21c:c0ff:fe38:afba/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1142 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:43 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:90530 (88.4 Kb) TX bytes:2632 (2.5 Kb) Memory:e3200000-e3220000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:118356 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:118356 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:14239239 (13.5 Mb) TX bytes:14239239 (13.5 Mb) virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:54:00:45:A7:31 inet addr:10.0.2.1 Bcast:10.0.2.15 Mask:255.255.255.240 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:180 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:128 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:16657 (16.2 Kb) TX bytes:50599 (49.4 Kb) vnet0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:54:00:45:A7:31 inet6 addr: fe80::fc54:ff:fe45:a731/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:357 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:1404 (1.3 Kb) TX bytes:19248 (18.7 Kb) brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.001cc038afba no eth1 virbr0 8000.fe540045a731 yes vnet0 route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 br0 10.0.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 virbr0 0.0.0.0 10.0.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:domain ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:domain ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:bootps ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:bootps Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere 10.0.2.0/28 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- 10.0.2.0/28 anywhere ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-port-unreachable ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-is-bridged ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 10.0.2.5 tcp dpt:smakynet ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 10.0.2.5 tcp dpt:smakynet ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 10.0.2.5 tcp dpt:smakynet Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination the IP Address for the virtual machine i am trying to access is 10.0.2.5 (vnet0). I am able only to access it from the host PC only, therefore, how i can i access it from other PC's on the network ? Any help would be much appreciated. -- Sincerely,

[libvirt-users] how to load different bios into qemu
by Martin Kraus 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hello. I'm using debian squeeze with libvirt and kvm and I need to load a newer version of seabios into qemu. I'd like to do it without overwriting seabios in the debian package because that might be overwritten on the next update. I hopend that the <loader> directive in the config would work but it doesn't. thanks for any ideas. mk

[libvirt-users] building libvirt-0.8.3 for windows ( with dlls )
by Gal Gafni 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Hi, I'm trying to compile the latest libvirt (0.8.3 ) on windows and the configure fails to find XDR lib. I installed the xdr-4.0-mingw2 and configure complains the XDR library doesn't exist. Should I get another XDR lib? The command I run: $ ./configure --with-esx --without-sasl --without-avahi --without-polkit --without-python --without-xen --without-qemu --without-lxc --without-o penvz --without-libvirtd the last 10 lines of configure: checking for mntent.h... no checking net/ethernet.h usability... no checking net/ethernet.h presence... no checking for net/ethernet.h... no checking linux/magic.h usability... no checking linux/magic.h presence... no checking for linux/magic.h... no checking for xdrmem_create in -lportablexdr... no checking for library containing xdrmem_create... no configure: error: Cannot find a XDR library is there a a guide somewhere in the list for compiling the windows version on mingw? Thanks, Gal Gafni Chen CSL-WAVE Developer

[libvirt-users] F13-x86_64 - New version of qemu in raw virt repo breaks virsh and virt-manager?
by Mike Hinz 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

Without actually thoroughly thinking about it, I updated my system yesterday with the latest qemu-kvm. rpm -qa shows qemu-kvm-0.13.0-0.5.20100809git25fdf4a.fc13.x86_64 See also: virsh # version Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.2 Using library: libvir 0.8.2 Using API: QEMU 0.8.2 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.13.50 Now when I attempt to start a domain that was working perfectly well prior to this update, I get the following: virsh # start winxp1 error: Failed to start domain winxp1 error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: Supported machines are: pc Standard PC (alias of pc-0.13) pc-0.13 Standard PC (default) pc-0.12 Standard PC pc-0.11 Standard PC, qemu 0.11 pc-0.10 Standard PC, qemu 0.10 isapc ISA-only PC Virt-Manager throws the same error when attempt to start an existing domain. I'm assuming that there's now some sort of compatibility issue between the current versions of libvirt/virt-manager and qemu-kvm? Is there a way to get around this and somehow use my existing domains with this updated version of qemu-kvm? Interestingly, just out of curiosity, I've started a new installation of a WinXP vm. This seems to be going perfectly well so far, so I assume that the issue is only with domains previously created with the older version of qemu?? Any assistance in being able to run my existing domains would be greatly appreciated! -- Regards, Mike Hinz President YR20 1718 Fry Road Suite 440 Houston, TX 77084 mike.hinz(a)yr20.com 832-225-1293 (o) 713-594-3095 (m) 832-550-2657 (f)
